Oh, the loopback - CHKLBP.MAC isn't compiling. I can't tell if the log is jumbled, or if the code is really missing CRLFs.

The disks are cloned but I modified 4-1-config.cmd to change the node name

     NODE TOPS20 25

     NODE TOPS21 26

I don't know much about how NETCON would get its permissions, it is being
started from SYSJOB.RUN, this is what I have in that file after following
the instructions in the manual I was following:

RUN SYS:ORION
RUN SYS:QUASAR
RUN SYS:MOUNTR
RUN SYS:INFO
RUN SYS:MAILER
RUN SYS:MAPPER
RUN SYS:LPTSPL
RUN SYS:LPTSPL
RUN SYS:CDRIVE
RUN SYS:SPRINT
JOB 0 /LOG OPERATOR XX OPERATOR
ENA
^ESET LOGIN PSEUDO
^ESET LOGIN CONSOLE
^ESET OPERATOR
PTYCON
GET SYSTEM:PTYCON.ATO
/
JOB 1 /LOG OPERATOR XX OPERATOR
ENA
RUN SYS:BATCON
/
JOB 2 /LOG OPERATOR XX OPERATOR
ENA
RUN SYS:FAL
/
JOB 3 /LOG OPERATOR XX OPERATOR
ENA
RUN SYS:NETCON
/

Note that the manual used "\LOG" rather than "/LOG" but was contradictory on
this as in some places it was one and in others it was the other.

I tried a loopback test, which failed as per the attached log file.

One more data point. When I use UETP to verify the configuration I get these
errors in the log:

$TYPE EXCEPT.LOG.2

They suggest that the docs are not right, but nothing else.

Subject: Re: [Simh] Netcon

owever, I still see one end repeatedly sending the first DDCMP message
(05 06 C0 00 00 01), but nothing else happens, no response going the
other way, no messages on the console etc. I notice that I do get this
message on bootup though: SJ 3: $RUN SYS:NETCON SJ 2: ?ILLEGAL
INSTRUCTION 0 AT 236246 SJ 2: ?UNDEFINED OPERATION CODE SJ 3: SJ 3: %
NETCON: COULD NOT OBTAIN NETWORK TOPOLOGY Could it be that I still
don't have the right version of DECnet on this virtual machine?
Thanks! Rob
Er, are you still running cloned systems?  Make sure the node number and
name are different between the two.

As I wrote, I'd need to debug this, but it's possible that NETCON just
isn't graceful about this.
